MSI recommends Windows® 7.

Overview

 

 
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium
(MSI recommends upgrade to Genuine Windows® 7 Professional)
 

The Real Gaming Notebook

    

What do gamers desire most? MSI knows best! In GT780, MSI not only conducted research with the world-class team Fnatic, but also collaborated with SteelSeries, a leading manufacturer of professional gaming peripherals, to develop a “gamer’s keyboard” never before seen in gaming notebooks. GT780 provides you the best gaming experience!

 

The Real Deal: A Keyboard Made Just for Gamers

 

MSI and internationally renowned manufacturer of professional gaming peripherals and accessories, SteelSeries, collaborated to create a laptop keyboard that is designed specifically with gamers in mind.

Perfect Position !

                                                                                                                                                  

Golden Triangle

MSI identified the keys used most by gamers and fine-tuned their sizes and locations
to make them even more intuitive for gamers.
 

 

Just Solid !

MSI has improved the resilience and tactile feedback of each and every key. Users will no longer have to deal with flimsy keys. Each time a key is pressed, the tip of the finger receives genuine tactile feedback and a solid rebound. This means that users can enjoy crisp keyboard action without getting tired during extended use.

Power 10 Keys

MSI’s gaming keyboard supports simultaneous pressing of 10 keys or more, allowing users to issue commands rapidly and respond to games with precision.

Full Color Backlight (limited regions)

You can choose from more than 1,000 color combinations and 5 scenario modes with the keyboard LED Manager(KLM).



 

Unprecedented Extreme Performance

*The highest score on PC Mark Vantage of Intel IDF Beijing 2011
*Configuration: Intel® Core™ i7-2920XM Processor Extreme Edition, Genuine Windows® 7 Professional,
16GB DDR3-1600, Intel® SSD X25-M 160GB SSDx2 with RAID 0, GTX 560M 1.5GB, TDE function "ON".
 

Three-dimensional, exquisite, and realistic gaming screen

GT780 has a 17-inch Full HD screen, which projects a vibrant visual effect. The latest top-end NVIDIA Geforce GTX560M graphic card with 1.5GB GRDDR5 memory gives the notebook an extraordinary gaming performance. GT780 is fully compatible with DX11, which provides an ultra-smooth and vivid three-dimensional visual experience.

   
 
 

Stunning Audio Performance

MSI Premium Sound Technology
For serious gamers who demand extreme audio performance, the GT683 is the best and only choice!



 

 

 

 

Hollywood cinema audio standard provides excellent surround sound effect





 

Speaker Placement

In order to present the best sound effects, the GT780 speakers are uniquely configured. Besides the two side speakers projected toward the user, there is also a subwoofer sound hole at the bottom. This configuration immerses gamers into a realistic, three-dimensional battlefield experience.

 

Aerodynamics Design

The exterior design of the GT780 combines the classic, succinct appearance of a limousine with the aerodynamic contour of a spacecraft creating a low-key composure but powerful image. The black casing of the GT780 is specially covered with brushed aluminum, coupled with the silver msi logo, it makes the GT780 a symbol of the coexistence of textural quality and ultimate performance.

   

To avoid accidentally touching the touch pad while gaming, the GT780 is equipped with a control switch for the touch pad on the side of the keyboard
